	Media	Author	Review
		A. O. Scott The New York Times	"A somber, absorbing and only moderately preposterous new thriller."
		Lou Lumenick New York Post	"A solid, intelligent international thriller (...) 'Traitor' is the best end-of-August movie I've seen in years"
		Todd McCarthy Variety	"'Traitor' brandishes physical verisimilitude and intelligent seriousness but proves unable to really get inside its chameleon-like central character"
		Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"The movie proceeds quickly, seems to know its subject matter, is fascinating in its portrait of the inner politics and structure of the terrorist group, and comes uncomfortably close to reality (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Philip Kennicott The Washington Post	"Heroic action is needed. To save us from the terrorists? More pressingly, to save us from films such as 'Traitor' (...) Fortunately, there's always Don Cheadle"
